Hmm, make sure they are on a level surface. That's my only suggestion.

does this happen with a particular track? Maybe you just got a crappy copy of a track.

I would also try burning on CD-R instead, and try burning it at a slow speed, and as audio.

Don't really use CDJs myself so not sure what's causing this problem. But wonder if there's any way of being able to clean the lenses for the lasers? Much like a head cleaner for tapes?

Use a different CD to burn to. Avoid rewritables.

Use a slower speed to burn.

Use different PC to do the burning.

These logical steps, taken one at a time will help you isolate what the problem is.

My guess is that it's probably not your CDJs, more than likely the media you are using or the burning method.

I heard that those are actually damaging for CDJs due to the fact of how fast the cds spin inside a CDJ compared to a regular CD player.

Well, I re-did the mix last night with the tracks burnt to CD-Rs and i never noticed any frame jumping during the transitions.

Bummer though either their exists a problem still and I didnt hear it or windows got lame on me and screwed up the buffer recording because I heard some skipping in one point. I think this is windows though. So, back to burning all my stuff to CD-Rs.

Thanks guys.

why would you burn CDRW anyway? aren't those a bit more expensive than CDR?

When I am done with a tracklist I just erase the disc and re-use it.

I guess i can only do that so much before the cdj's can't read from them very well.

Thanks for the tip. Learn something new everyday!

Are you playing from mp3 files burned to disc? The CDJ-200, in my experience, sucks for playing mp3s.

I get a similar problem. Sometimes when I hit play (after cueing a track), a few seconds into the track, it'll skip a few frames and I gotta adjust. BUT, it doesn't do it a second time. It's happened a few times and I can get around it by playing my cued track in my headphones until i hear the skip, then i know it wont happen again.

I burn with CD-R, slowest burn speed, undamaged cds. I dont know, not really a huge deal cause it doesn't happen very often. Just thought I'd point out I have a similar issue.
